Magnetocentrifugal Winds in 3D: Nonaxisymmetric Steady State
Jeffrey M. Anderson, Zhi-Yun Li, Ruben Krasnopolsky +1
Outflows can be loaded and accelerated to high speeds along rapidly rotating, open magnetic field lines by centrifugal forces. Whether such magnetocentrifugally driven winds are st…
Nonlinear Criterion for the Stability of Molecular Clouds
Ruben Krasnopolsky, Charles F. Gammie
Dynamically significant magnetic fields are routinely observed in molecular clouds, with mass-to-flux ratio lambda = (2 pi sqrt{G}) (Sigma/B) ~ 1 (here Sigma is the total column de…
The Structure of Magnetocentrifugal Winds I. Steady Mass Loading
Jeffrey M. Anderson, Zhi-Yun Li, Ruben Krasnopolsky +1
We present the results of a series of time-dependent numerical simulations of cold, magnetocentrifugally launched winds from accretion disks. Our simulations span four and half dec…
Magneto-Centrifugal Launching of Jets from Accretion Disks. II: Inner Disk-Driven Winds
Ruben Krasnopolsky, Zhi-Yun Li, Roger D. Blandford
We follow numerically the time evolution of axisymmetric outflows driven magneto-centrifugally from the inner portion of accretion disks, from their launching surface to large, obs…
Locating the Launching Region of T Tauri Winds: The Case of DG Tau
Jeffrey M. Anderson, Zhi-Yun Li, Ruben Krasnopolsky +1
It is widely believed that T Tauri winds are driven magnetocentrifugally from accretion disks close to the central stars. The exact launching conditions are uncertain. We show that…
